The U.S. and Congo’s so-called β€œcritical minerals partnership” reeks of neocolonial exploitation, especially with Erik Princeβ€”a mercenary linked to Blackwater’s war crimesβ€”lurking in the deal. After massacring Iraqis under U.S. contracts, Prince now eyes Africa’s wealth under the guise of β€œtax reform” and β€œanti-smuggling.” Congo’s minerals, not its people, drive this arrangement. The audacity of trading security (read: Western-controlled mercenaries) for resources mirrors the extractive violence of colonialism. Africa doesn’t need Trump-pardoned warlords β€œadvising” on governanceβ€”it needs sovereignty. If Congo’s government values its people, it must reject any deal that mortgages the nation’s future to foreign profiteers. The U.S.-Congo β€œminerals partnership” reeks of a classic imperialist action-reaction-solution scheme. First, Western-backed militants like M23 destabilize the region (action). Then, chaos justifies β€œsecurity” deals with mercenaries like Erik Princeβ€”a war criminal pardoned by Trump (reaction). Finally, Africa’s resources are locked under foreign control (solution). This is how colonialism works in the 21st century: πŸ”» Fund proxy wars to weaken sovereign states πŸ”» Blame β€œAfrican corruption” for the violence you created πŸ”» Send predatory contractors to β€œsecure” mines, not people Congo’s minerals should empower Congolese people, not enrich the West. #drc #congo #congokinshasa #problack #blackunity #panafrican #panafricanism #blacklove #panafricanist #colonization #neocolonialism #colonialism #exploitation #ibrahimtraore #ibrahimtraorΓ©??
